Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the common pathogens associated with corneal infection, particularly in contact lens-related keratitis events. The pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa in keratitis is attributed to the production of virulence factors under certain environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to determine differences in the virulence factors of P. aeruginosa isolated from contact lens- and...
